I brewed this a few weeks ago in preparation for a small party at the house. A bunch of the SWMBOs work friends who have had zero exposure to homebrew were coming over. It was a combination end of summer, back to school (theyre all teachers) BBQ. I whipped up this super easy beer and it was a huge hit. Very lite. Very crisp. Just the right balance of malt and bitterness, low IBU and hop aroma and very reminiscent of a pilsner.
Plus at 3.5%, I felt very comfortable having both taps flowing. I couldnt wait to brew it again so its on deck for this weekend.
If youre looking for a super easy brew that appeals to all audiences and is a great session ale, this is a cant miss. If you prefer a hoppier edition, Id suggest dry hopping an ounce of cascade in the keg or in the secondary.
